The Smitrem tool will have created a log named smitfiles.txt in the root of your drive, eg; Local Disk C: or partition where your operating system is installed. Please post that log your next reply.

Reboot into Safe Mode.

Go to the directory - C:\WINDOWS\system32\
Rename the file wininet.dll to wininet.old. Wait for a few moments. Windows should regenerate a new copy for you.
If that doesn't happen, Click Start, Search, and For Files Or Folders to try to locate other instances of wininet.dll.
If you find more than one copy of the file, check the version information for each file (you can find this information by right-clicking the file, selecting Properties, and selecting the Version tab).
Copy the most recent version to the C:\WINDOWS\system32\ directory.

If you don't find Wininet.dll, visit Microsoft's Internet Explorer home page (www.microsoft.com/windows/ie) to download the latest version of IE, which includes the Wininet.dll file.
